Cocoon 100% Silk Travelsheet

There's nothing worse than traveling for 20-plus hours only to slide into a bed covered in sheets that feel more like sandpaper than 1,000-count Egyptian cotton—to say nothing of pulling back the hotel comforter and discovering those stains of indeterminate origin. To quell this inevitable downer, equip your overseas kit with one of Cocoon's Travelsheets, and you'll be safely ensconced in plush, clean, odor- and stain-free comfort. Of the many fabric options available (fleece, ripstop silk, cotton, Cool-Max, silk-cotton, and, yes, full-on Egyptian cotton), we opt for the 100-percent silk variety—it adds about 9.5 degrees Fahrenheit to your sleeping-bag rating (and keeps the interior of your bag clean, which will considerably prolong its life). It's also the perfect weight for crashing out in a tropical clime where you just want a little something between you and the jungle air. Different fabrics offer temp ratings to accommodate all variety of climates, and also come cut for mummy sleeping bags, hostel beds, or a two-person variety. Each one has a side opening for easy in-and-out with a Velcro closure, a pocket for a pillow insert, double stitching for reinforced strength, and a compression sack to keep this plush indulgence from swallowing precious space in your pack. A good night's sleep has never been so easy. $60; www.cocoon.at
